Juan HollomonGOOOOOO C...A...R...D...S...CARDS, CARDS, CARDS! Welcome to THE University of Louisville. My name is Juan Hollomon and I am going into my fourth year at the universityand I am majoring in Political Science. Coming to Louisville has honestly been one of the highlights of my life both academically and socially.

Laura ValladaoHey Cards! Welcome to the University of Louisville. I am going to be a senior here at the University with a major in Communication and I have hopes of going to law school after I graduate. Coming to the University of Louisville has changed my life for the best. I am originally from California, so I am a long ways away from home. It has taught me how to be independent and when times get tough your family is only a phone call away. The University of Louisville has many organizations to get involved in that will make your college experience one of a kind. The sporting events here are extraordinary and urge you to attend as many as you can. Support your fellow cards and maybe I will see you at one of the games. I hope you have a wonderful year, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me at l0vall02@louisville.edu ! GO CARDS! |

Megan ImelC-A-R-D-S!! CARDS! Welcome to the place I am so proud to call my home, The University of Louisville. I am a junior, double majoring in Communication and Fine Arts Photography. My life changed for the better the day I walked onto this campus. Not only has this institution given me knowledge and skills to make me successful upon graduation but it has given me experiences outside of the classroom that have shaped the person I am today. The people I have met through my organizations and activity involvement at Louisville have given me a whole new appreciation for diversity and people as individuals. My one wish for anyone attending U of L is that they may take every chance and opportunity given to them with enthusiasm and appreciation because in return their time here will be the ride of a lifetime. If you have any questions, contact me at meimel01@louisville.edu |

With the numerous varieties of organizations, I’m sure that you will find one that fits your niche. I am so excited you chose the University of Louisville!
